It was after the bizarre and non compromising single on Stereo Deluxe records that the meeting of Stereotyp and Microfish (a close musical connection to the Al Haca sound system), was worthy of notice and attention. The trips from North Eastern Germany to Vienna became more frequent and the experiments really turned inwards and forwards. A true meeting of the musical minds, with knob twiddling as the focus of the art form. Stereotyp meets Microfish became Stereotyp meets Al Haca and the series of small twists and turns on the control panels got greater and more profound.
Family Business – produced by Stereotyp AlHaca Album: Family Business
CRUNCHTIME
Live at CAMERA CLUB Vienna
The future sound pioneers are back with a 7 song mini LP genre bender entitled Family Business. This time around the mission is to get personal.
While featuring extended Family members, Al Haca have decided to focus on the voice of the eclectic RQM. Stylistically diverse, the end product is an intimate LP rich in storytelling.
Cee: “Apart from touring and dropping limited edition 7 inches, we’ve really been out of the mix for a second. So with this new release, which is really a preview to an entire series, we’ve decided to show the world the full spectrum of our sound – from the pop to the not so. And being that we have a host of vocal talent around us – we put all of them on. It’s family business!!”
Unlike other producer driven projects, which come off sounding more like compilations, Family Business is pure Al Haca. The songs drift effortlessly between 4-4 beats and staggering offs, acoustic instrumentation and the signature Al Haca – Stereotyp Sci-Fi synths, while a world of nano dub bubbles just below the surface. Cryptonite, Dial Zero and Citrus call for late night headphone sessions, while Family Business or Banana Split will rock every dancefloor and barbeque this summer!!! Once again on production duty alongside Cee is the Tolcha beat surgeon known as Rasda, while the Executive Producer controls are held down by none other than Vienna’s prodigy problem child Stereotyp, who recently ripped up playlists worldwide with his future soul album “Keepin Me” (G-Stone). Alongside RQM, the army of choice vocalists contributing megatons of soul include Coppa, Oliver Grimball, Hubert Tubbs, Sandra Kurzweil, Cesar Sampson, FEFE, Patrizia Ferrara and Vera Böhnisch aka L’enfant Terrible.
